Discover Belo Horizonte with locals
Belo Tours was created to help visitors discover Belo Horizonte and Minas Gerais beyond the usual tourist experience.
Belo Horizonte is a city full of character, with a unique mix of history, culture, food, music, nightlife, architecture and local traditions. From famous landmarks and traditional markets to lively neighbourhoods, independent bars and hidden gems, there is always something new to discover.
Belo Tours brings these experiences together through a range of tours and activities designed to help visitors experience the city from a local perspective.
A local team with local knowledge
Belo Tours is built around a team of local guides, hosts and partners who know Belo Horizonte and are passionate about sharing it with visitors.
The team brings together different interests, personalities and areas of expertise, allowing Belo Tours to offer a variety of experiences rather than a one-size-fits-all tour.
Guests can explore the city’s history and architecture, discover Minas Gerais cuisine, visit traditional markets, experience local nightlife, explore LGBTQ+ friendly venues, take walking tours or travel beyond the city to destinations such as Ouro Preto.
The team can also provide local recommendations for restaurants, bars, events, attractions and places that visitors might otherwise miss.
More than sightseeing
Belo Tours believes that experiencing a city is about more than simply visiting its most famous attractions.
A tour might involve tasting traditional food at Mercado Central, discovering the creative atmosphere of Mercado Novo, exploring Praça da Liberdade, walking through Savassi and the city centre, experiencing Belo Horizonte after dark or discovering the historic streets of Ouro Preto.
The focus is on creating experiences that are relaxed, social and informative, while giving visitors the opportunity to experience the city and its culture first-hand.
Something for every traveller
Belo Tours offers experiences for solo travellers, couples, families, friends and private groups.
The range includes cultural experiences, food and market tours, walking tours, nightlife experiences, LGBTQ+ evenings, pub crawls and day trips. Customised tours are also available for visitors who want something specifically designed around their interests.
Whether visitors have just a few hours in BH or several days to explore, experiences can be adapted to suit different interests, schedules and group sizes.
Exploring Minas Gerais
Belo Tours also provides an opportunity to discover more of Minas Gerais beyond the capital.
Belo Horizonte is an excellent base for exploring the region’s historic towns, cultural attractions and natural landscapes. Ouro Preto is a particular highlight, with its colonial architecture, historic churches and important place in the history of Minas Gerais.
Custom trips and experiences can also be arranged for those who want to explore further.
A personal approach
The team believes the best experiences are not always the ones that follow a strict itinerary.
Routes and experiences can be adapted depending on the group, the time available and what is happening in the city. There is always room for questions, recommendations, unexpected discoveries and the occasional change of plan.
The aim is simple: to make visitors feel welcome while helping them discover Belo Horizonte in a way that feels natural, personal and enjoyable.

Whether it is a first introduction to the city, an evening exploring BH’s nightlife, a cultural experience, a food tour or a day discovering the history of Minas Gerais, the team is ready to show you around.
Explore Belo Horizonte. Discover Minas Gerais. Experience BH like a local.
Hi, I’m Glauber
I created Belo Tours because I wanted to share my city with people from around the world in a way that goes beyond the usual tourist experience.
Belo Horizonte is my home, and I know there is so much more to the city than the places you find in a guidebook. From our food, markets and culture to our nightlife, history and the people who make BH what it is, I want visitors to experience the city the way I know it.
I work with a team of local guides and partners who share the same passion for Belo Horizonte. Together, we offer everything from walking and cultural tours to food experiences, nightlife, day trips and customised experiences.
Whether you’re visiting BH for a few days, travelling through Minas Gerais or simply want to discover a different side of the city, my team and I are here to help you make the most of your time here.
Come and discover Belo Horizonte with us.
